Ditko has written stories where a criminal has reformed. His belief appears to be that you can correct an error if you honestly choose to. Here, the criminal does not want any special favors, only to serve his time and go free. In the earlier instance the criminal wants a favor from the Judge, with no honest interest in accepting his mistakes and improving himself. I've written about and studied Ditko's work for many years and find his stories to be fascinating.

Less standing there and getting punched.

I wonder if that was done on purpose. I like how Hawk makes the Spider-Man web-shooting hand in the second panel of the third pic you posted. I wonder if that was done on purpose.
